Plastic Surgery Controversy, Frequent Overseas Announcements
Chapter 702 Plastic Surgery Controversy, Frequent Overseas Announcements
The behind-the-scenes footage of "Youthful Days" and "Golden Zither" have different styles.
In the behind-the-scenes footage of Jinse, the editor-in-chief and Jinli have a very good relationship, like old friends exchanging pleasantries, giving an overall relaxed feeling.
But in the behind-the-scenes footage, the editor-in-chief was too awkward when acting as an interviewer.
And those questions asked...
To be honest, is this editor-in-chief here to be a comedian?
Her interview was so awkward; what kind of questions were she asking? Had she passed the vetting process by their publicity department?
I agree, it's completely lacking in quality.
[But I think their interactions are quite funny. Jinli even gave the editor-in-chief advice on what questions to ask and specifically reminded her to show the manuscript to the publicity department, haha!]
[The behind-the-scenes footage of Nianhua was interesting, but I didn't expect that the editor-in-chief's interview segment would also be cut. Nianhua released several more rounds of behind-the-scenes footage afterward, and the interview questions were all of a high standard, but I still hope for the editor-in-chief's interview.]
This is the first wave of behind-the-scenes marketing for the new year.
The highlights of the editor-in-chief's interview have generated more discussion at this point than the first wave of behind-the-scenes footage released by Jinse.
Then, October arrived.
"Counterattack" also surged into the top ten of the mainland film box office, aiming for ninth place.
At this point, Nianhua released a second wave of behind-the-scenes footage.
This latest behind-the-scenes footage is even bolder, as it was taken during an interview while Jinli was removing her makeup.
Other celebrities only remove one layer of makeup at most, and don't leave the makeup remover on their faces for too long, which is why some celebrities' faces are still white after removing their makeup.
But Jinli's makeup removal was a genuine makeup removal.
She carefully placed cotton pads on her face for a while before removing her makeup, one part at a time.
The makeup removal process took a while, but I answered questions while removing my makeup, without any hesitation.
It was this makeup removal scene that revealed Jinli's clear and radiant skin.
[Question: What's the difference between Jinli wearing makeup and not wearing makeup?]
There's no difference; they're both as beautiful as fairies.
Jinli's natural beauty is amazing!!!
No wonder makeup artists in the industry say that Jinli is the easiest to work with, unlike other celebrities who are much more difficult to handle. Some celebrities have very poor skin due to their irregular sleep patterns and reversed day and night.
Yes, yes, there are several young actresses who are quite lively and charming, but their skin is just average; some of their acne is so bad that even makeup can't cover it up.
[When can we have Jinli do a magazine shoot for us without makeup? I'd definitely buy it!]
Am I the only one curious about what skincare products Jinli uses?
The discussion among netizens was lively, with everyone trying to figure out skincare tips.
And by sheer accident, it caused many skincare products that emphasize "clear and natural" effects to sell out.
Some brands skirted the issue by using Jinli's image on their promotional pages, but Chenxi Entertainment quickly investigated and removed many of them.
Last month, due to Jinse's marketing, many bloggers followed suit and imitated Jinli's makeup.
This month, thanks to the marketing campaign by Nianhua, many bloggers have also followed suit by removing their makeup to reveal clear, radiant skin.
Well, makeup is relatively easy to mess up, but removing makeup can be a different story.
However, everyone is still enjoying the challenge.
Because the popularity of Nianhua has remained good, the October issue of Nianhua was launched on October 13th.
Like "Youth", they also released two versions of the magazine, one online and one offline, and it sold out again!
Nianhua has produced hit products before; Gu Cheng's September issue last month was a smash hit. But it was precisely because of this comparison of hit product sales that Nianhua's people have come to a profound realization—
The contrast is stark.
As the cover story, Jinli's sales were five times that of Gu Cheng's as soon as it was released!
"While the recommendation certainly played a part, the effect is just too good!"
Young people, seeing the sales figures, were muttering to themselves.
"I have to say, Jinli's appeal is really strong!"
"Gu Cheng is also an option, but Jin Li is more popular. Jin Se is very good at marketing, and she also did marketing for the October issue, but the topic's popularity is not as high as Jin Li's."
The editor-in-chief of Nianhua thought for a moment and said, "Jinli is, after all, the key figure in the comeback, and she has absolute appeal, so it's normal for her to be at a high point."
These days, it's very difficult for a supporting character to be more popular than the lead in a TV series or movie.
Unless it's something exceptionally outstanding.
But that still requires someone to support it.
Without the backing of capital, how could you possibly get a good supporting role?
Some supporting roles are even contested by actors who are used to playing leading roles.
Just as the October issue of Nianhua was selling like hotcakes, a wave of rumors about Jinli also appeared online.
It's hard to find peace on the internet; even the most influential people have their flaws.
Because Jinli's appearance was fresh and beautiful when she removed her makeup, some haters thought that she had semi-permanent makeup or plastic surgery!
Don't you guys think Jinli is incredibly beautiful? She wasn't this beautiful back in Pink Girls!
Some people actually become more beautiful as they get older; don't assume it's all due to plastic surgery.
[Did you get plastic surgery? I used to think you were a bit unremarkable, but that sickly look was really noticeable.]
[Where did she get plastic surgery? Look at the pink-clad girl from seven years ago compared to the pink-clad girl seven years later. Not just Jinli, everyone has become prettier, okay?]
There are too many haters on the internet criticizing Jinli for having plastic surgery, but there are also many who disagree. The two sides have been fighting back and forth, and the hashtag #JinliPlasticSurgery# has been pushed to the top of the trending searches.
At this time, Jinli was far away overseas and had no contact with people in China.
Chenxi Entertainment couldn't find a way to break the deadlock for the time being.
The president comes to ask Sui Lingfang, Zou Da, and the head of the public relations department every day.
"Have you thought of a solution? How about we have Jinli issue a clarification?"
Sui Lingfang shook her head: "Jinli is busy with her work abroad, so there's no need to bother her with such a small matter."
Zou Da agreed, saying, "Given Jin Li's current status, if she were to actually respond, it would be giving her haters too much face."
The head of public relations shared the same view.
"It's obvious she hasn't had plastic surgery. Someone is just spreading rumors. If you look closely, you'll find that Jinli has just grown up and her skin has become better."
The CEO sighed: "Then what can we do? Let the rumors fester? I'm afraid that three people can make a tiger."
Sui Lingfang suddenly thought of something and said, "I'll contact Nianhua. They should have photos of Jinli without makeup, as well as a more detailed and complete video."
Sure enough, the years really do exist here.
Furthermore, they also planned to contact Chenxi Entertainment, hoping they could step in and resolve this scandal.
The young man said apologetically, "It's because of our marketing and promotion that Jinli got dragged into this; otherwise, she wouldn't be targeted by those haters." Sui Lingfang was silent for a while.
I've never seen the issuing party apologize so quickly, even kneeling down.
Since Jin Li's "Counterattack" became a hit, she has found that whether she goes out to discuss appearances or negotiates with brands, they are all very accommodating.
It seems like everyone in this world is a good person.
Now that Nianhua has come to apologize so readily and sincerely, she feels even more strongly that Jinli's status has truly changed.
Ultimately, this is not Nianhua's fault.
Jinli has become too famous lately. When someone becomes famous to a certain extent, the whole world knows her. It's impossible for her to only have a good reputation and no bad ones.
Therefore, this wave of negative trending topics was bound to happen.
Since Nianhua was being so cooperative, Sui Lingfang took the opportunity to ask them if they could provide videos and complete high-definition photos of her without makeup.
There was no problem with the age of the flowers, and they even said very proactively, "We can clarify this on our side. There's no need for Chenxi Entertainment to come forward. Our public relations department is already prepared to handle it."
But Sui Lingfang couldn't really do nothing and just say that the company would cooperate in forwarding the message.
After hanging up the phone, she told the president and her colleagues about the conversation.
Sui Lingfang remarked with emotion, "It went much more smoothly than I imagined. Jinli's sudden rise to fame has changed everyone's attitude towards her."
She doesn't follow the top-tier celebrity route, nor does she organize or plan fan-driven ranking and data manipulation, but I feel that many entertainment companies highly value Jinli.
Zou Da succinctly saw through those people's thoughts.
"How can we not think highly of him? Three years ago, he won the lottery by scratching cards in front of the Taoist temple. Back then, no one expected that he would reach this level three years later."
If scratch-card lottery only brought her back into the spotlight, without good works to sustain it, this popularity will be fleeting and will disappear in two or three months.
As a result, her works each year solidified her position step by step, until this year's "Counterattack" became a huge hit.
Everyone can see that her rise to fame is not accidental, but inevitable.
As an established artist, she's unlikely to retire easily unless faced with an extreme scandal.
Just like this recent controversy, it's been widely discussed online and seems to be coming on strong, but so what?
Three days have passed since the plastic surgery scandal broke.
However, no brand has inquired about it, let alone suspended their cooperation with Jinli.
Because everyone in the industry can see very clearly that even if Jinli had plastic surgery, it wouldn't affect her status, not to mention that Jinli didn't have any surgery at all.
Outsiders can't tell if someone's had plastic surgery, but can't they tell?
Nianhua acted quickly. In the afternoon after communicating with Sui Lingfang, they released the original video of her removing her makeup and high-definition photos of Jinli without makeup.
The official Weibo account didn't directly name the source as being used to clarify the plastic surgery controversy surrounding Jin Li, but instead wrote a meaningful sentence:
Some people's beauty can soothe the soul.
High-definition videos and photos make it immediately clear whether someone has had plastic surgery.
Her features were natural, without any knife marks or other traces; everything was just right.
Jinli in the video is making movements, and you can't tell at all that she has implants on her face; she looks very natural.
Those eyes seemed to speak volumes; no wonder she's famous for her expressive eyes.
[Now the haters have been proven wrong, haven't they? If this is all plastic surgery, then find someone in the industry who is prettier than Jinli and show them videos and photos of her without makeup.]
I don't care whether Jinli has had plastic surgery or not, I just want to know which beauty salon she goes to for her treatments.
Today I went to a beauty salon, brought out Jinli's bare-faced photos and videos, and asked what treatments I could get to achieve the same results as her.
The beauty salon listed a long list of services and even gave me a heads-up that even if I completed all of them, I might not achieve the same results as her.
The reason is simple: her facial features appear to be naturally beautiful.
[Coincidentally, I also took her videos and photos to a plastic surgery hospital to ask how to get someone like her and whether they had had any facial surgery.]
After seeing the comparison between seven years ago and seven years later, the doctor said with certainty that she hadn't had any plastic surgery, and her facial features were exactly the same.
But her skin texture has clearly improved; this kind of natural beauty can't be achieved through surgery, it's too radiant, it's all natural.
I knew Jinli's natural face was pretty, but I didn't expect it to be this good. She can hold up to such high-definition videos and photos. 666!
I think she's the most beautiful among the young actresses!
Each beauty has her own unique charm, but Jinli stands out with her exceptional beauty. While she may not be the most conventionally beautiful, she possesses a captivating and ethereal beauty that is truly comforting.
[All I can say is that Jinli's style is incredibly versatile. You haven't seen the photos of her wearing simple clothes while worshipping at a Taoist temple; she truly looks like... a goddess descended to earth!]
So where are the photos?
I encountered Jinli by chance at a Taoist temple. I really wanted to take a picture when I saw her, but I was completely captivated. I didn't realize it until she left, but by then it was too late to take a picture.
……
The negative information circulating online was cracked so easily.
However, recently the number of people visiting the Taoist temple has suddenly increased. Some people really want to go to the temple to worship, while others simply come to see if they can run into a celebrity.
Unbeknownst to many, Taoist temples have become tourist attractions.
Even if you do nothing, don't burn incense, just come in and experience the culture that has been passed down from ancient times, it's still quite nice.
Moreover, Taoist temples are more rustic and natural, far better than those so-called ancient city commercial streets.
By the time Jinli received the news abroad, the incident had already been resolved and could only be discussed casually over tea.
Jinli didn't mind and chatted with Sister Fang about her experiences abroad.
To be honest, attending events abroad is indeed a bit troublesome; the biggest problem is the language barrier.
Furthermore, when hiring translators, because of the language barrier, it is actually difficult for them to understand the true level of the translator, and they are not sure whether the translator has made any mistakes.
Fortunately, they sought help from the embassy, which recommended that they check with various universities, and they finally found a few reliable translators.
The translation problem was solved, but unexpected incidents were inevitable when attending announcements.
When Jinli was participating in an outdoor event, some people, whether they had heard some news or misunderstood something, actually knelt down and worshipped her in public!
Jinli was so frightened that she took several steps back, and Gu Cheng quickly stepped in front of her.
After calming the group down, Gu Cheng asked worriedly, "Are you alright?"
Jinli shook her head: "It's nothing, I'm just a little confused."
Gu Cheng: "Won't it affect you if they kneel down to you?"
Jinli thought for a moment, then shook her head again: "No, begging me won't help."
Even when she was a deity, it was difficult for her to obtain offerings and prayers; now that she is a mortal, it is even more useless.
Gu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Besides kneeling and worshiping, there are various unexpected situations.
For example, while chatting, the host suddenly presents a bunch of gifts to the celebrities and asks them to take photos with them.
Director Xu reacted quickly, immediately saw through their intentions, refused, and returned the gifts on the spot.
